Color Change After Software Update

Just updated my Droid-X to to system version 4.5.596. Immediately after the update the status bar / notification bar changed from its previous white color to a very dark (almost black) color. Does anyone know if there is a way to change it back to white? Thanks in advance.

Unless there are some themes out there that will work with the Droid X's Gingerbread update, you'd better learn to like it. It's not something that can be switched in the settings, just like the color of the old bar couldn't be adjusted in the settings. Google went with a darker color scheme for Gingerbread, and Motorola skinned it over a bit, giving the navy blue bar instead of a black one.

I, personally don't mind the bar background color. I did notice the "Weather Bug" app temp and info that resides in the bar at the top was almost indiscernible. Wa,la, they have an option to change the text color. Not sure if it was always there or not.
